Two more people have been arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a 13-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man who were shot in Nottingham.

The victims were shot in St Ann's Well Road at about 16:00 BST on Monday and both were taken to hospital.

A 27-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy are the latest to be held in connection with the shooting.

Another boy, 16, has been charged with possession of a firearm and is due to appear at Nottingham Youth Court.

He was also charged with possession of a Class B controlled drug.

He is the second teenager to be charged after a 15-year-old boy was accused of possessing an offensive weapon and possession of a Class B controlled drug on Tuesday.

The two victims suffered "relatively minor" injuries and have since been discharged from hospital.

A 16-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and firearms offences remains in custody.

A 20-year-old man arrested on suspicion of affray and possession of an offensive weapon has been released on bail.

Detectives also arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and remains in custody.

Nottinghamshire Police said officers were maintaining a presence in the St Ann's area of the city and urged anyone with information to come forward.
